Defense Technological Innovation: Issues and Challenges in an Era of Converging Technologies

Bala Mulloth and co-authors Bharat Rao and Adam Jay Harrison explore defense technological innovation in this new release in the New Horizons Innovation Management series.

Defense Technological Innovation describes the emerging paradigm for innovation at the US Department of Defense, and the consequent impacts on its stakeholders. Leveraging a combination of prior research, archival data, first-person observations and interviews, the authors identify practices and themes characterizing the key trends in defense innovation, describe current organizational approaches and practices, and develop a theoretical framework that elucidates the competencies required to underwrite defense innovation objectives. The findings therein are relevant to any large, technology-driven organization contending with the implications of rapid change in the high-tech landscape.
